    Gloss/optically clear laminate is a bit trickier than anything else to load with the plastic liner, but after the initial setup it goes fine. The vendor we purchased them from is called Trigon Imaging, we bought 2 from them. We used to have a Arctic and a Seal laminator but those are gone now...

    We purchased our laminator from our local vendor. The wind of the laminate doesn't matter you'll just be using the upper bar backwards, the only powered parts are the rollers and the take-up reel. I trained everyone in the office how to use ours in a couple hours, never had an issue out of it.

  4. Looking for a new laminator

    GFP. we run full rolls all day long, easy setup and no issues.

  5. Need Help SEMI truck 53 feet- How much should i charge it?

    Our guys here do about a trailer per day each, so if we have 2 trailers we send 2 guys for an overnight stay if they can't bring them here. Most of the time we send out 3 guys to do 3 trailers in 3 days. We do about a trailer per day (along with everything else) on average here, and also ship...

  6. We're Moving! - What should we buy/or not buy?

    Vertical substrate racks make it easier to get substrates out, but the materials that CAN warp WILL warp on them since there is no pressure keeping them flat.

  7. Need Help SEMI truck 53 feet- How much should i charge it?

    I'm betting they're gonna laugh at 10-15k. I know the cost of living is different there, but a 53' semi with rivets should be around $6,000 using 3M Cast material.

  8. Laminator suggestions

    I would definitely recommend a GFP. We have 2 and haven't had any issues out of them in over 3 years. Run full rolls all day long. We have the 455th series but don't use the heat that much.

  9. S40600 is amazing!

    I don't post any BS here. I am not getting paid by any company/rep to say anything positive or negative. I just get on here and post honest truth and try to help others. We bought our latex 360 about 6 months after they came out and really tried hard to make it work. We were still running slow...

  10. Need Help Epson S80610 MEtallic silver help

    You HAVE TO name the name the spot color correctly as "Spot1" in your vector file for the RIP/printer to know to use the spot ink. In your rip you have to use a media profile that includes the spot color. I think the silver ink sucks, we had it in our last 2 printers but on our most recent one...

  11. Suggestions Picking a laminator - GFP, RS, Seal

    We print a lot, and I mean a lot, of vinyl and we run our laminators all day every day. We switched to GFP from Seal a few years ago and have never had an issue out of them. Everyone in the shop can use them without issue. I would recommend them to anyone.

  12. Need Help gerber service/repair

    What is it doing wrong?

  13. Epson S70 Parts

    I would assume the boards being the most valuable part and are refurbished and sold.

    Font Help Help identifying a font on a Pierce fire truck

    NewText Bold or Brothers are both pretty close and might be acceptable, Pierce owns the font you see so you're either going to have to redraw it or substitute.

  15. Vinyl and laminate for security decals labels

    You're not going to get much of a stronger adhesive vinyl for a wide-format printer than DPF8000. There are some nice vinyl combos for printers like the Gerber Edge; I know Gerber makes some nice durable 15" super-adhesive vinyl and we also use LexEdge (polycarbonate) with 3M 467 adhesive...

  16. Am I making the right decision

    I'd find a local shop to print for you for now until you have the volume to get your own printer.

  17. Best Value (Full Color Vinyl Printer) for Home Business

    In all seriousness, you aren't going to find anything at that price point. The cheapest option for you is to find a used Gerber Edge/plotter system.

  18. Suggestions Car Wrap Templates?

    I recommend getting the ProVehicleOutlines subscription.

  19. SC40600 Media Profiles

    Use the standard media profile you use for wrap films for the perf. We made our own couple of profiles and just use those for everything.

  20. Snowmobile wrap templates

    Templates aren't easy or quick to make, therefore they aint cheap IF they're for sale. Custom vehicles like golf carts, UTVs, snowmobiles, etc usually require the wrap shop to make their own custom templates.

    Weird Question

    It would look even cooler printed on some metallic wrap film.
